The Guy Who...

I remember when we were five
A couple of kids sitting side by side
On a picture perfect day on the way to school
Along came brendon jimmy james
With his golden hair and his angel face
He stole my brand new bike and my girlfriend too
He stole you too
All of the nights that i've spent alone
Am i the dog who doesn't get the bone?
Tell me what i gotta do
Gotta walk across the wire for you
Gotta catch a bullet in my teeth
Do pushups in the desert heat
Tame a lion, get black and blue
From boxing with a kangaroo
Still you never notice what it is i'm going through
How do i get to be the guy who gets to be with you
How do i get to be with you
Midnight strikes and the line is long
For the monster movie marathon
When i get the guts to ask you to the prom
Thanks but no you say to me
Cause captain dan on the football team
Is so good-lookin and he's twice as strong
He's twice as strong
All of the days that i've dreamed of love
My time has come now, i've dreamed enough
Tell me what i gotta do
Gotta walk across the wire for you
Gotta catch a bullet in my teeth
Do pushups in the desert heat
Tame a lion, get black and blue
From boxing with a kangaroo
Still you never notice what it is i'm going through
How do i get to be the guy who gets to be with you
How do i get to be with you
I can see us in the future
Girl in the picture
Where are you now?
Remember when you see me waving
It's not cause i'm waving
You're watching me drown
All of the nights that i've spent alone
Why can't you throw this dog a bone?
Tell me what i gotta do
Gotta walk across the wire for you
Gotta catch a bullet in my teeth
Do pushups in the desert heat
Tame a lion, get black and blue
From boxing with a kangaroo
Still you never notice what it is i'm going through
How do i get to be the guy who gets to be with you
How do i get to be with you
Shoot myself into outer space
Lose the cops in a getaway chase
How do i get to be the guy who gets to be with you
Save a baby in a burning fire
Be the man that you desire
How do i get to be the guy who gets to be with you
How do i get to be with you
